Well, I’ve met someone just recently and we’ve been going out for almost a week now.

Yuliana:

I can tell! You must be very happy in your new relationship! Tell me more!

Margarita:

Ok … We’re taking the same course at the college, so that’s where we met. He is studying General Science.

Yuliana:

Great! And what does he look like?

Margarita:

He’s tall, with brown hair… He is like a spitting image of Justin Trudeau!

Yuliana:

Wow, I am so happy for you!

Margarita:

Thanks. And what about your date? How did it go?

Yuliana:

It was no good… The guy turned out to be vertically challenged with a face only a mother could love…

Margarita:

Ah, was it that bad?

Yuliana:

I am pretty sure it was… But on second thought, maybe he just had a bad hair day.

Margarita:

I think you should get to know him better. You know that appearances can be deceiving, don’t you?

Yuliana:

You are right. We seemed to have a good time. I might give it another try.

Margarita:

There you go!
